You train directly with Orion
What made him different compared to other trainers we've talked to was that they wanted to board him then return him while with Orion he explained that our Doberman would definitely get trained but if we aren't trained to keep up the training then he would revert back to his previous behavior. I personally learned that the hard way. My husband did most of the training outside of the training sessions and with him he behaved like a trained dog but with me it was a different case. Orion picked up on that and started training me on how to gain confidence and take lead. Our boy is so well behaved while we're out that he gets many compliments. It amazes people with how well he is being considering his age (below 1yr still). Orion explores all options of training and suggests what he thinks will work best with your dog while educating you on how to utilize the training tools. If you aren't on the same page with his suggestion he will accept it and explore the other options with you. All in all he will definitely work with you with the end goal to have a trained dog. We love and respect him so much that we decided to have him train 2 of our other dogs who are fear reactive. We'll forever appreciate Orion.

We hired Orion when our dogs were having issues. He came in and corrected the problems immediately. In the process he found our dogs strengths, which grew their confidence and trust in us. His teachings also made us confident in what we needed to do for them. We worked every two weeks, which was perfect, giving us plenty of time to practice what we learned before moving on to the next assignment, plus his availability between the two weeks for questions or guidance. We look forward to continuing our training with Orion in the near future!

I can honestly say Orion saved my relationship with my Aussie, Ian. I got him at age 5 months from a breeder who hadn't socialized him and he was reactive to people, statues, my husband, guests, and especially other dogs. I took him to a standard obedience class and while he learned to tolerate having other dogs around (barely) none of the basic issues were addressed. Orion really listened to and thought about our problems. He worked with us at our home and out in public, and was energetic in recommending solutions. Best of all, he gave me the skills to continue our work on our own (though we'll miss him! My dog loved him.). Ian has gone from being an indifferent, unmotivated dog who was more focused on everything around him than on me, to a fun, happy dog who finally gets his place in the world. We cannot thank Orion enough.

Amazing dog training! We have had several dog trainers throughout the years and everyone taught us basic obedience techniques. Orion is a different trainer, who stands out with his unique training approach. Our 7 year old fur girl developed reactivity problems and Orion came to our rescue. A behavioral change was noticeable after the first session and after several more, I finally received the tools to get my girl back into a better state of mind. Thank you, Orion, it was amazing working with you.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your exceptional help in training our 8.5-year-old English/French Bulldog mix. When we rescued her, she was energetic, prone to barking, and quite stubborn, despite her adorable nature. Your in-home training approach was precisely what we needed. I firmly believe that training the human and the dog together is crucial, and your willingness to work with us in our own environment made all the difference. Unlike other trainers who suggested treadmills or claimed her mixed breeding might be untrainable, you recognized her potential. Thanks to your guidance, our mornings now include calm 30-45 minute walks without any pulling, barking, or over-excitement. While we're still working on things like the doorbell, she now understands her 'place' and can sit calmly when I open the door. Best of all, she no longer chases golf carts in the neighborhood—a win for everyone! Thank you again for helping our girl become the sweet dog we knew she could be.
